Well done St Andrews…Fife is so creative!
The Creative Place Awards celebrate and recognise the hard work and imagination that contributes to the rich cultural life of a community, as well as its social and economic well-being.
The Awards are part of the Year of Creative Scotland 2012, a year-long celebration of our nation’s cultural and creative strengths.
St Andrews received £150,000 in the category for places with fewer than 100,000 residents. The runners up were Irvine and Perth. St Andrews will be hosting its own Year of Celebration in 2012 and the award will allow the town to promote its already rich cultural programme to the UK and international visitors and to support a new community musical theatre production as the year’s centre piece production.
Year of Creative Scotland 2012
“The Year of Creative Scotland 2012 is a unique opportunity to celebrate the huge strength of Scotland as a creative nation. Scotland’s talent reaches into every home and in the next year will play out on an international stage.”
Andrew Dixon, Chief Executive, Creative Scotland
“The Year of Creative Scotland is a chance to spotlight, celebrate and promote Scotland’s cultural and creative strengths on a world stage by encouraging the cultural and tourism sectors to work in closer partnership to enhance cultural tourism in Scotland. It marks the beginning of an exciting programme that will embrace London 2012 and celebrate Glasgow 2014 – as well as generate real momentum towards Homecoming 2014.”
Mike Cantlay, Chairman of VisitScotland
